    Really nice first dive in a game you'd hope the Texans would lose

    Lol…looks like not many people are watching but D Mills with another solid drive to start a game. Every week he gets incrementally better.

    it's early, no need to worry about our ability to lose this game. That O-line is going to kill a lot of momentum.

    So the only real question I need answered regarding this game is what will the NFL Draft order look like with a Texans loss and a Jaguars win over the Jets. #NothingElseMatters

    Back to back FG attempts by chargers - I’m surprised by the Covid ravaged Texans D

    We would still pick 3rd since we beat the Jags twice and lost to jets.

    We're surprisingly competitive so far, if we were to win this game we should hope that the Jest win as well!

    According to simulator: https://playoffpredictors.com/Footb...s3FAuEAZmNyx1efvIszxp-PbwSyMAAZxICeOkzZc+QoVA

    Looks to me like best case scenario this week is Texans lose, Jags win, Lions lose: 1. DET, 2. HOU, 3. NYJ, 4. JAX

    Detroit winning is actually bad for the Texans. A Detroit win combined with Jags win and Texans loss produces: 1. NYJ, 2. JAX, 3. HOU, 4. DET.

    These results are only picking the (3) games involving the (4) teams in question. It is not clear to me what the effect of some of the other results on the schedule today may have on tie-breakers such as conference schedule strength, etc

    Yes, the 1st tie-breaker for playoff seeding is different than for draft order.
    Playoff seeding it's Head-to-head for two teams, best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the clubs for three or more.

    For draft position it's strength of schedule, and head to head would only come into play if the sos was identical.

    8 penalties in the first half…such an undisciplined team.

    What a catch on an off-target pass!

    Wow! That was a perfect pass from Mills!
    One of his best as a Texan!

    Perfect pass.

    Great block by Burkhead too.

    Not sure if it was intended to be a back shoulder throw but he put it in a place that either Dorsett would catch it or it would be an incompletion.


    Now that TD was a beautiful throw…

    Mills out here looking like a pro bowler lulz… He’ll likely go 3-14 with a INT or two in the second half
